The veteran middleweight today announced via Twitter that he's slated to fight T.J. Waldburger (15-7 MMA, 3-2 UFC) in December at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale. Officials, though, have made no formal announcement.

The TUF 16 Finale takes place Dec. 15 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Catone is pretty big, but so is Aaron Simpson...if he can comfortably make that weight, he will have success. I like Waldburger a lot, and I love his submission game but if this is his next fight, he will probably get smothered.
